- The little voice that kept telling him to pray to God might have been his guardian angel.

— And thank God he listened!

-— Amen!

TO Mortrey and SunkenCiv:

Thanks for your kind words. If you have a purpose in life, you fight hard to fulfill it. I was privileged to work on the book about John Kerry and Vietnam, “Unfit for Command”. The Swift Boat Veterans (Against John Kerry) went thru the hell of combat and still had that spark of life after 35 years. Many were wounded. A couple friends of mine were POWS held by the VC and No. Vietnamese, and badly tortured.

Compared to what they went thru, my little episode is an interesting footnote.

It is what you do with your life that counts, and if you are given a second chance, grab it by the balls and hold on tight. It’s gonna be one heck of a ride the second time around.

One interesting and pleasant surprise out of this was to see the look on my doctors’ faces when I did a basically complete recovery, including climbing stairs in the hospital and chasing nurses down the hall (don’t tell my wife). It’s hard to do that when you have an IV bag/stand attached to you, but you give it the old college try.

I’ve got to say that our medical doctors are the finest in the world, as are our nurses, technicians, EMTs, etc. I’m living proof of that.

Another little task of mine is to tell people at FR and elsewhere that if Obamacare had been in practice when I was in my coma, his Deathpanel would have let me die. Too costly to keep me on drugs while I was totally unconscious.

A little personal reason for me wanting to take Obama down besides the fact that he is a traitor, coward, and POS.

Make everyday count, even if it is only to look at the moon and stars, flowers, or birds. I do that with my granddaughter and we have a great time admiring God’s creations. Don’t miss the show - it’s free and awe-inspiring.

Max

Then he was surprised by a small voice inside his head that said, ‘Pray to God.’...or as Father Groeschel says, in that millioneth of a millioneth of a second between life and death when Jesus calls, if the soul responds then you are saved.....

Howard had the misfortune of a falling ill on a Saturday in a country with socialized medicine, and no doctor could be found.

I had pneumonia, couldn't breathe a teacup full. I remember hearing murmuring out in the hallway about putting someone on a respirator.

Then I was not in the hospital room any more.

I was standing on a cloud and my view was of a man, dressed in white with a red robe, also standing on a cloud, with everything lit in a warm golden glow.

I said "If you are who I think you are (Jesus), I don't have much choice in the matter. If you want me to come with you, I will. But if you don't mind, (thinking vividly of my then 2 year old granddaughter we were raising) there are some things I'd like to do first."

He said, "Go back. It is not yet your time."

Next thing, I'm back in the hospital room, coughing up chunks of olive green gunk, one chunk the diameter of a quarter and a quarter of an inch thick. (I saved that one in the kidney dish, to my wife's great distress, just to show it off).

The next morning, the Respiratory specialists are gathered in there remarking about how they were going to put me on a respirator that morning, and that they couldn't believe how much lung capacity had been opened up overnight.

I was home in two days.

There is a there there, Jesus is Lord, and I have no doubt.

Dr. Melvin Morse has writen several books on NDE. Check this out. The books are an easy read too.

The proof for an NDE is when the one dying/dead is able to describe what went on in the room while he was supposed to be dead.

My father had one and, while he didn't have a personal encounter with Jesus or get drawn into a tunnel of light, he said he floated over his body and could later tell the doctor what he did and who came in and out of the room during the brief time that he was dead.
